No doubt. I thought i was doing myself favors by the hotchkis TVS, but man this new steering, bracing and coil-over package is just the ticket. I've always been a suspension first kinda guy (like us dirt bike nuts), Suspension, Brakes, Power, and then on down the line in that order...

Mike, I'm glad it worked out the way you wanted! I went back to the beginning and read your whole thread. Your car looks great! That was quite an ordeal on the headers.

I'm an ex dirt bike nut too and I took the same approach on my car. Suspension first as it was the next thing behind riding ability to make me faster. Motor was definitely down the list as I've had some of my best seasons with less motor on 2 strokes.

Next you should do some light weight wheels, Carbon Fiber Rotors, LW Driveshaft, Flywheel to get rid of the unwanted weight in the best places

Thanx. KTM did a test a few years back and every body turned the fasted times on the 200 two smoker....

I've got build threads on both PT and NastyZ. PT link is in sig and here's NastyZ http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=155518

I haven't updated anything simply because there's nothing to update. I'm working on getting the seats I bought installed but work is slowing me down there. I hope to start a thread here soonish since this is my home mainly now. I'm moving really slow though so it won't be updated often.

After the seats go in, seat belts are next. Then, I'll move onto suspension and chassis bracing. I'm still not as decided as I thought I was on suspension so I'm glad to see you're enjoying your setup.

How smooth is it so far with bumps and cracks in the road? In particular, the leafs?
